Grenadier Guards officer's trousers These Grenadier Guards officer's dress trousers belonged to Daniel Henry Strother Riddiford (1883-1971). Like several other New Zealanders with ties to Britain (the 'Mother Country'), he left New Zealand after the outbreak of the First World War (1914-19) in the hope of gaining a commission in a British regiment, which he received in late 1915. Lieutenant Riddiford became a Transport Officer with the Grenadier Guards. He was awarded a Military Cross in 1917 for his courage under fire. The Evening Post reported: 'when in charge of pack animals bringing rations to the battalion, Lieutenant Daniel H. S. Riddiford, Grenadier Guards (Wellington) showed great coolness and skill in leading his convoy forward when it came under a heavy enemy barrage. It was due to this initiative that the battalion received its rations in time, and that lives were saved' (13 July 1918, p. 7). His wife Jessie Meta Riddiford (nee Johnston) and their young children travelled to Britain in 1916 to be nearer to him. They all returned to New Zealand in 1920, and Daniel returned to farming in the Wairarapa. However, he retained his strong ties with Britain by sending his children to British secondary schools between the wars. Unknown Te Papa Collections Online / Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa

Grenadier Guards officer's trousers These Grenadier Guards officer's dress trousers belonged to Daniel Henry Strother Riddiford (1883-1971). Like several other New Zealanders with ties to Britain (the 'Mother Country'), he left New Zealand after the outbreak of the First World War (1914-19) in the hope of gaining a commission in a British regiment, which he received in late 1915. Lieutenant Riddiford became a Transport Officer with the Grenadier Guards. He was awarded a Military Cross in 1917 for his courage under fire. The Evening Post reported: 'when in charge of pack animals bringing rations to the battalion, Lieutenant Daniel H. S. Riddiford, Grenadier Guards (Wellington) showed great coolness and skill in leading his convoy forward when it came under a heavy enemy barrage. It was due to this initiative that the battalion received its rations in time, and that lives were saved' (13 July 1918, p. 7). His wife Jessie Meta Riddiford (nee Johnston) and their young children travelled to Britain in 1916 to be nearer to him. They all returned to New Zealand in 1920, and Daniel returned to farming in the Wairarapa. However, he retained his strong ties with Britain by sending his children to British secondary schools between the wars. Unknown Te Papa Collections Online / Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa

Daniel Johnston Riddiford

23248 World War II, 1939-1945 Captain Riddiford was awarded MC for his efforts to escape. Most of those who thus changed their identities at Spittal were caught, as they all applied to go to a working camp near the Italian frontier. Riddiford, having carefully learnt the personal details and history of the man he was impersonating and by playing both dumb and sick at his interrogation, half convinced the German commandant that he was genuine. On discharge from hospital he wasted no time in leaving the camp in a working party dressed as a Frenchman, and with two companions was in Italy in four days. (Mason, W.W. (1954) p 292) Minister of Parliament (MP) 1960-1972. Minister of Justice and Attorney General 1969-1972 'It was at this stage (about 11 October) that two escaped British majors arrived in the area and decided that British troops could be put to better use if they were extricated and brought back under British command. By the middle of the month they had ordered those with whom they made contact to cease fighting under partisan command,2 had collected a party of 85 at Stupizza for evacuation, and were negotiating with the partisan leaders at Caporetto for a safe conduct through partisan-held Yugoslav territory to the Dalmatian coast. Partisan headquarters viewed with disfavour what they regarded as the defection of the British and were uncooperative. After a heated argument, however, they agreed to pass them on to the next command on 17 October, and this process, with much similar argument, was repeated as the ex-prisoners continued their slow journey southwards. They were usually able to arrange for a guide from village to village and sometimes an armed escort. From command to command we were passed, spending with different units of Tito's variegated forces, sometimes a few hours, sometimes days, and on one occasion over a week. Always there were interminable discussions with the partisans, always the same difficulties in persuading them to agree to our plans. Once we were held captive for over a week, four days being spent in the open with rain falling and snow threatening. With the first winter snow on the ground they flatly refused to give us any [further] guides or escort on account of a large-scale German round-up of partisans, and Stump led the party with a home-made compass belonging to me across thirty miles of country dominated by the Germans, into which no partisan would venture. Capt Riddiford (6 Fd Regt). He commanded the New Zealand section of the party (26 all told) and also acted as interpreter in all the negotiations with the Yugoslavs. For his work with this party and his escapes he was awarded the MC.'

RIDDIFORD, DANIEL (1814-75) was the stepson of Dr G. S. Evans (q.v.), whom he accompanied to New Zealand in the Adelaide, arriving in Port Nicholson in Mar 1840. Riddiford brought out a house in sections, and erected it at Pipitea. After acting for a few years as an agent for the New Zealand Company, he moved to the Hutt and erected a new home, Woburn. About 1845 he purchased the Orongorongo property, where the family lived for 10 years, returning to Woburn after the earthquake of 1855. The Te Awaiti property (including Tora, Lagoon Hills and Tuturumuri) was acquired about 1850. Riddiford died on 20 Mar 1875.
